Benefits for single mothers in Russia

Increasingly, our modern woman takesfragile shoulders burden, which in normal cases, the family should perform together: a woman brings up a child alone. Simply put, becomes a single mother and, most often, consciously, seriously considering this decision. That's them, about modern mothers, who alone raise their children, and there will be a speech.

In the people, a woman who brings up her child alone is called a single mother. Legally, not every one of them can have such a status. So can be called a woman who:
